A note from The Virts about "RISE":
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from shuffling cards over the past 14 years, it’s that you only get better at Cardistry as you repeatedly push yourself beyond your limits. The byproduct of that, of course, is dropping cards - again, and again, and again.
Today, after 14 years... we still drop our cards all the time. Sure, we now drop our cards less frequently; but no matter how much better we’ve gotten, bending to the floor and repeatedly picking cards up covered in dust (and hair) never gets any less frustrating.
Over the years, we’ve come to establish a bit of a love-hate relationship with failure. We still don’t like it, yet we’ve also come to recognize that if we’re not dropping our cards enough, we’re also not going to get any better at Cardistry. And in that sense, we’ve come to find failure rather beautiful.
RISE was birthed from a vision of ours to capture this intriguing beauty of failure.
Envisioning a juxtaposition between clean forms and abstract swirls, we pictured cards being manipulated with impeccable technique - abruptly interrupted and exploding out of the very hands that shuffled them.
We imagined them rising from the ground; the cards fluttering through the air in slow motion, dancing like the leaves in the Fall... and returning to our hands - perhaps forming imperfectly at first, then progressing with each step taken, and finally, displayed in all their glory.
Yet our stubbornness as Cardists doubling as filmmakers resulted in a few interesting restrictions that we imposed upon ourselves:
If this “Fall” vision were to be captured, it would have to be done with no CG. Everything had to be filmed in-camera and performed by ourselves with with a real deck of cards.
Next, there would be no use of green screen, compositing, or other camera trickery. The furthest we agreed upon was the reversal of several scenes - and only if they genuinely added to the story we wanted to tell.
And finally, the cards used could not be gimmicked in anyway - no strings, magnets or anything of the sort. If what we envisioned could not be accomplished by our technique, then the idea was scrapped.
Thankfully, after months of planning, testing, and of course...failing, we finally had the opportunity to transform our vision into a reality.
Through the use of a Phantom high-speed camera mounted on a Bolt Cinebot (thank you Shooting GalleryAsia), and the help of a leaf blower or two... Rise was born.
We truly hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it for you.

It's common to see imagery from old-time American life in silent films from the 1930's, yet it's very rare to catch a glimpse what the rest of the world looked like back then. "Legong: Dance of The Virgins", by Henri de La Falaise, is an exceptional work that screened recently at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. Legong was shot 80 years ago in Bali. It's a cinematic treat to see the island in such pristine form, before it was commercialized. It contains high ethnographic value as an original sketch of Balinese culture. The film was restored and preserved by UCLA Film & Television Archive.
But what makes it a real masterpiece is its soundtrack, added in 1999 by the renowned ensamble Gamelan Sekar Jaya. The San Francisco Chronicle described it as "a potent blend of tuneful Western-style romanticism and the pulsating overtones of gamelan." Gamelan is an Indonesian traditional musical ensemble, featuring a variety of bronze and bamboo instruments.
Claimed by Indonesia's Tempo Magazine as "the finest Balinese gamelan ensemble outside of Indonesia," Gamelan Sekar Jaya brings to life all of the elements of Balinese culture portrayed in the film: the frenzied dances, mystical parades, sacred cremation ceremony, notorious cockfighting, and even everyday market dealings. What's so special about this Bay Area-based group? We talked to its former director and original member, Wayne Vitale. Wayne is from Rhode Island and joined the group in 1979.

Virtuoso!

Virtuoso! Cremona presents Winners of International String Instrument Competitions is an International Music Festival organised every year in Cremona (Italy) by the Fondazione Antonio Stradivari and the Accademia Italiana degli Archi (Italian Strings Society) in collaboration with ARCHI Magazine and the fair Mondomusica.

Film (band)

History

New wave years (1979-1981)

During 1977 and 1978, bassist Marino Pelajić, guitarist Mladen Jurčić, and drummer Branko Hromatko were Azra members when Branimir "Johnny" Štulić brought Jura Stublić as the new vocalist. Stublić was to become Aerodrom member, but due to his deep vocals it never happened. The lineup functioned for a few months only and after a quarrel with Štulić, on early 1979, Pelajić, Jurčić, Hromatko and Stublić formed the band Šporko Šalaporko i Negove Žaluzine, naming the band after a story from the "Polet" youth magazine, which was soon after renamed to Film. The memories of the Azra lineup later inspired Štulić to write the song "Roll over Jura" released on Filigranski pločnici in 1982.

Saxophonist Jurij Novoselić, who at the time had worked under the pseudonym Kuzma Videosex, joined the band, inspiring others to use pseudonym instead of their original names: vocalist Stublić became Jura Jupiter, bassist Pelajić became Mario Baraccuda and guitarist Jurčić became Max Wilson. Before joining the band, Stublić did not have much experience as a vocalist, however, since his father had been an opera singer, he often visited the theatre and opera, and at the age of 13, he started playing the guitar, earning money as a street performer at seaside resorts.

Lubrication theory

In fluid dynamics, lubrication theory describes the flow of fluids (liquids or gases) in a geometry in which one dimension is significantly smaller than the others. An example is the flow above air hockey tables, where the thickness of the air layer beneath the puck is much smaller than the dimensions of the puck itself.

Internal flows are those where the fluid is fully bounded. Internal flow lubrication theory has many industrial applications because of its role in the design of fluid bearings. Here a key goal of lubrication theory is to determine the pressure distribution in the fluid volume, and hence the forces on the bearing components. The working fluid in this case is often termed a lubricant.

Free film lubrication theory is concerned with the case in which one of the surfaces containing the fluid is a free surface. In that case the position of the free surface is itself unknown, and one goal of lubrication theory is then to determine this. Surface tension may then be significant, or even dominant. Issues of wetting and dewetting then arise. For very thin films (thickness less than one micrometre), additional intermolecular forces, such as Van der Waals forces or disjoining forces, may become significant.

And finally, the cards used could not be gimmicked in anyway - no strings, magnets or anything of the sort. If what we envisioned could not be accomplished by our technique, then the idea was scrapped.
Thankfully, after months of planning, testing, and of course...failing, we finally had the opportunity to transform our vision into a reality.
Through the use of a Phantom high-speed camera mounted on a Bolt Cinebot (thank you Shooting GalleryAsia), and the help of a leaf blower or two... Rise was born.
We truly hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it for you.

Balinese Gamelan Virtuoso Redefines an American Silent Film

It's common to see imagery from old-time American life in silent films from the 1930's, yet it's very rare to catch a glimpse what the rest of the world looked like back then. "Legong: Dance of The Virgins", by Henri de La Falaise, is an exceptional work that screened recently at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. Legong was shot 80 years ago in Bali. It's a cinematic treat to see the island in such pristine form, before it was commercialized. It contains high ethnographic value as an original sketch of Balinese culture. The film was restored and preserved by UCLA Film & Television Archive.
But what makes it a real masterpiece is its soundtrack, added in 1999 by the renowned ensamble Gamelan Sekar Jaya. The San Francisco Chronicle described it as "a potent blend of tuneful Western-style romanticism and the pulsating overtones of gamelan." Gamelan is an Indonesian traditional musical ensemble, featuring a variety of bronze and bamboo instruments.
Claimed by Indonesia's Tempo Magazine as "the finest Balinese gamelan ensemble outside of Indonesia," Gamelan Sekar Jaya brings to life all of the elements of Balinese culture portrayed in the film: the frenzied dances, mystical parades, sacred cremation ceremony, notorious cockfighting, and even everyday market dealings. What's so special about this Bay Area-based group? We talked to its former director and original member, Wayne Vitale. Wayne is from Rhode Island and joined the group in 1979.

Cardistry - Virtuoso : RISE feat. the FW17 Virtuoso deck

A note from The Virts about "RISE":
If there’s one thing we’ve learned from shuffling cards over the past 14 years, it’s that you only get better at Cardistry as you repeatedly push yourself beyond your limits. The byproduct of that, of course, is dropping cards - again, and again, and again.
Today, after 14 years... we still drop our cards all the time. Sure, we now drop our cards less frequently; but no matter how much better we’ve gotten, bending to the floor and repeatedly picking cards up covered in dust (and hair) never gets any less frustrating.
Over the years, we’ve come to establish a bit of a love-hate relationship with failure. We still don’t like it, yet we’ve also come to recognize that if we’re not dropping our cards enough, we’re also not going to get any better at Cardistry. And in that sense, we’ve come to find failure rather beautiful.
RISE was birthed from a vision of ours to capture this intriguing beauty of failure.
Envisioning a juxtaposition between clean forms and abstract swirls, we pictured cards being manipulated with impeccable technique - abruptly interrupted and exploding out of the very hands that shuffled them.
We imagined them rising from the ground; the cards fluttering through the air in slow motion, dancing like the leaves in the Fall... and returning to our hands - perhaps forming imperfectly at first, then progressing with each step taken, and finally, displayed in all their glory.
Yet our stubbornness as Cardists doubling as filmmakers resulted in a few interesting restrictions that we imposed upon ourselves:
If this “Fall” vision were to be captured, it would have to be done with no CG. Everything had to be filmed in-camera and performed by ourselves with with a real deck of cards.
Next, there would be no use of green screen, compositing, or other camera trickery. The furthest we agreed upon was the reversal of several scenes - and only if they genuinely added to the story we wanted to tell.
And finally, the cards used could not be gimmicked in anyway - no strings, magnets or anything of the sort. If what we envisioned could not be accomplished by our technique, then the idea was scrapped.
Thankfully, after months of planning, testing, and of course...failing, we finally had the opportunity to transform our vision into a reality.
Through the use of a Phantom high-speed camera mounted on a Bolt Cinebot (thank you Shooting GalleryAsia), and the help of a leaf blower or two... Rise was born.
We truly hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it for you.
